Costa Coffee, a brand under Coca-Cola in India's commercial beverage sector, recently celebrated the opening of its 150th store in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi. This milestone reflects Costa Coffee's commitment to providing exceptional coffee experiences to its customers across the country.
Costa Coffee made its debut in the Indian market in 2005 by opening its first café in Connaught Place, New Delhi. Over the past year, in partnership with Devyani International, Costa Coffee initiated a significant expansion in India, introducing approximately 60 new stores.
The brand's ongoing objective is to establish new outlets in the top 8-10 cities in India, with a particular focus on specialized locations such as airports, highways, and healthcare facilities. This expansion is part of a broader transformation in India's coffee sector, with a growing emphasis on specialty coffee and premium offerings. Urban millennials, in particular, have played a significant role in turning coffee shops into vibrant social spaces, leading to a notable shift in a nation traditionally associated with tea culture.
The 150th Costa Coffee outlet exemplifies the brand's dedication to offering artisanal coffee crafted from locally sourced ingredients. The menu features a diverse selection of distinctive coffee creations, including popular choices like the Flat White, Classic Corto, Café Caramela, and more, all prepared using locally-sourced coffee beans.
Costa Coffee's General Manager for India & Emerging Markets, Vinay Nair, expressed the brand's commitment to expanding its presence across India: "India is a key market for us globally, and we are proud to commemorate the opening of our 150th store. This milestone truly highlights the overwhelming love and support we have received from coffee enthusiasts across India. Our aim is to extend our presence to every corner of the nation, ensuring remarkable coffee experiences for all."
Furthermore, Costa Coffee's Global CEO, Philippe Schaillee, emphasized the brand's focus on India, stating that it is one of the "priority" markets. Schaillee shared that Costa Coffee plans to add around 50 speciality coffee stores every year in India. The brand believes that India's growth potential is substantial, with a shift towards coffee consumption from tea and rising disposable incomes as key drivers.
To support its expansion, Costa Coffee is not limited to larger cities but is exploring opportunities in segments such as travel hubs, including airports, train stations, and office campuses. The brand's agility enables it to adapt to changing circumstances, ensuring a sustainable and successful growth strategy.
India's coffee market is poised for significant growth, and Costa Coffee is well-positioned to capture a share of this expanding market. With its dedication to quality coffee and a commitment to delivering unique experiences, Costa Coffee is on a mission to bring the rich flavors of coffee to every corner of India.
